International Workshop on Children & Recommender Systems

Recommender systems for children are only recently beginning to be studied and are primarily limited to recommenders in education-related environments. When focused on this particular audience, the role of a recommendation system needs to be reformulated, as it is not sufficient
for recommenders to identify items that match users’ preferences and interests. Instead, it is imperative that they also explicitly consider children’s needs from multiple perspectives: educational, developmental, and engagement, to name a few.
